I use it a lot, FWIW, adjusting the screen exactly how I like it in varying ambient lighting.

I wonder if hardware is varying a bit here? I just tried swiping every which way, large and small, angled and straight, in the left half of the screen, including little swipes that started or ended touching the bezel. I couldn't get it to trigger light adjustment instead of page turn until I was swiping at past a 45 degree angle from horizontal. This is on an H2O.

I'm all in favour of more Advanced settings, though. Light swipe on and off seems like it would be a fine one to have, if people want it.
